Quick guide to Euro 2024 semi-finals

BERLIN : The four remaining teams at the European Championship will take centre stage in the semi-finals to be played on Tuesday and Wednesday. Here is a quick guide to the fixtures (times in GMT).

SPAIN v FRANCE

Tuesday – Munich, 1900

Spain, three-times European champions, will try to earn a shot at a record fourth title against 2022 World Cup finalists France.

Spain, with 11 goals so far in the tournament, have the highest tally of all four teams in the semi-finals with 10 of those goals coming from inside the box.

They are the only team to have won all five of their games so far at Euro 2024, while they also have the highest number of goal attempts (102).

Despite featuring one of the world's top strikers in Kylian Mbappe, France, twice European champions, have only three goals in their five matches so far, via two own goals and a penalty.

They have managed to keep four clean sheets in their five matches so far but have just under 30 per cent fewer goal attempts than their opponents going into the semi-final

NETHERLANDS V ENGLAND

Wednesday – Dortmund, 1900

The two sides met five years ago at the same stage of the Nations League with the Dutch winning 3-1 in extra time.

Neither team have been convincing at the tournament to date despite the array of talent at their disposal, but they have potential match-winners who only need an instant to find a decisive moment.

England were seconds away from elimination before a 95th minute Jude Bellingham overhead kick rescued them against Slovakia in the last-16.

Despite England's below-par performances in Germany, they are unbeaten in their last 12 Euro matches (not including their shootout defeat in the 2020 final), winning eight, and last tasted defeat against Iceland in 2016.
